Is that how you're getting ready for the big game? I know that Blue is coaching Ahastar and Aeon is coaching Rexar in the big soccer match that's on tomorrow...Raptorland versus England. It's apparently a bitter rivalry. This sure seems like a funny way of getting ready, though.
It would be nice if there really was a bitter rivalry to get stuck into, but actually, there's just the British tabloid writers massively overhyping both the quality and chances of the English team on the one hand, while also being a bunch of immature, racist wankers to the German team on the other, and basically doing a disservice to both teams, insulting the foreigners and giving each country an artificial reason to dislike the other. They're doing their usual trick of rousing up the strongest emotions possible so they sell as many papers as possible at the expense of quality journalism and general decency, and they've turned what might have been a friendly rivalry once into something more nasty. What's really sad is that their alarmist, warmongering dribble obviously works otherwise the damn things wouldn't sell.
Fuck the tabloids. If you live in the UK, get your news from the BBC or the newspapers that are actually written by people with more than a handful of brain cells rattling around in their stupid heads.
Also, thanks for the replies!
